Hello Teal sisters,

@GloHO, thank you for informing us about clinical trials.

I have recently watched a movie "of medicine and miracles" telling the story of the development of CART-T cell therapy in a dramatic way based on the scientist vision and the story of the first girl with ALL who responded to it.

It is absolutely inspirational and creates the feeling of hope. To never give up. Also it nicely explains the development of CART T-cell therapy. 

Carl June's wife (the scientist who developed CART T-cells) actually died of ovarian cancer.. In the movie, he says that he experimentally treated her. While she died of organ complications, an autopsy that was done did no longer identify cancer cells.

It is not there yet for ovarian cancer, but it might be a possibility for the future

What an amazing story! I have not done a lot of research on CAR-T cell therapy…probably because I haven't seen any clinical trials for OC yet. Let's hope they get this to trials for OC soon.
